This soul special ability reads:

When this card is put in your territory, you MAY search your discard pile for a site, put it in play, and place this card in your unoccupied site.

Q1:  Can I do the first two, but not the third thing? In other words, can I get a site out of discard, put in play, but then NOT put this soul into the site?

Q2: Can I do the first two, then put this soul into a DIFFERENT site? Because it says "place this card in your unoccupied site" - it does not specify that you have to put it in the site that you just got out.

Thanks

Because "put it in play" is not an ability, but a new location for the search, I think if you search the Site has to go in play as a Site. So no recurring Cities and holding them to play as Forts.
